Must admit I was tempted by this run as sounds really nice, did entries open & close already or are they still to open?

Entries have not opened yet. We are still in the process of finalising a few details. I expect them to open early next week. I will update here once they do open.

Hi Ger,

Sorry to be busting your balls, but how do I enter for this? I did this in 2011, missed last year due to injury,, but would like to get back this year and I'm anxious not to miss out.

Thanks

Registered. No backing out now!



PS The booking website lists starting time for the marathon as 11am

mossym

is it 100 per distance or overall?

would like to do the half but given it's for a good cause would hate to think i was taking the spot of someone doing the longer events

elvis jones

12pm for the marathon looks good for me !!!

Website time is incorrect. 12 P.M is Marathon start time.

Thats is an overall figure which may be slightly increased. The half marathon entry is capped so enter while you still can.

Looking forward to getting the legs moving again after the DCM. Hopefully Mrs.W & wiggle juniors will be there to cheer me on, 13 times!! Must book a place for them in the Fan-zone !!

Carta

Hi lads, I'm just home from Boston for a holiday and looking to do the ultra. I've got a lift up from Cork sorted but getting home is the problem. Anybody able to help out?

Hi Carta, I should be able to sort something out for you, pm me your no. And I'll let you know .

b.harte

Seeing as Mr.Wiggle is still going on about it.......
1 more for the long slow bus.

Aimman

I've moved to just doing the Marathon distance now because I haven't been doing enough long distance training runs to get me through the 52M

Loosely translates to me being a lazy sh**e recently.

But I'll have the chance this year of enjoying the craic at the finish line instead of wandering in at all hours in the dark to find a search party looking for me.

The day just got an awful lot better for me !

Someone to shout at , clap on the back and offer 'gentle' encouragement to, ( as I zoom swiftly past ). And lots, and lots of baby boiled potato's to eat whilst waiting for you to finish !!:D

P.s. you can flatten your own bloody coke this time !

8 degrees with no rain and not much wind would be perfect
